I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a professional housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I've loved dog sitting so deeply, that I've decided to work on becoming a professional dog trainer. I want to work with these guys all day long. For now, I'm dog sitting and dog walking. I'm learning about all sorts of breeds and doggie personalities, through real immersion with them. So, I'm looking forward to tending to your specific pet, to learn what makes them tick and to carry that awareness forward into the rest of my career!
